Cookies

Heyyyyy 2017. I’m sorry I’m a few days late, but hey, I got a snow day. Snow days=my favorites. Spoiler alert: They’re not my favorite because I love to play in the snow or sleep until 1 PM or watch movies all day long. They’re my favorite because I can get a lot done. I’m…

When I was growing up, my Mom and I would be cooking or baking, and without much warning, we’d jab spoons of (insert whatever we were making) and say, “Try this!” Sometimes we paused to ask what it was, and sometimes we just went ahead and opened our mouths. Fast forward to how this has…

Do you love peanut butter? a. No b. It’s ok. c. Yum! d. I’d die without it. Let me tell you folks, the only right answer to this question is d. Obvs. You see, these cookies are for the kind of people who answer d to the question above every time. I mean, look at…

Please tell me I’m not the only one: I got so revved up to test a new recipe…only to discover the lack of said key ingredient. #fail. I was a little deflated, but… some googling led me to a few substitute ideas. And missing one egg was not going to mess up my determination…
